Happiness for ₩10,000 and plenty of chicken options
Happiness for ₩10,000! An easygoing price

Let me show you the menu~ Maybe because it is a traditional Seoul market, prices were incredibly, incredibly low. What especially stood out was being able to enjoy a whole old-fashioned chicken at a low price~ Considering what a whole chicken costs these days, I thought it was clearly a great-value chicken spot near Guui Station.


Half fried and half medium-spicy dakgangjeong
Takeout – half fried dakgangjeong and half medium-spicy




This time, I ordered half fried dakgangjeong and half medium-spicy dakgangjeong. Having two different flavors together instead of just one made it fun to choose between them.
Warm, crisp fried chicken
The fried chicken came out right after frying, so I loved its warm, crisp texture. The coating was not overly thick or greasy, so it was cleaner to eat than I expected. I could really taste that nutty flavor unique to freshly fried chicken too, making this a menu item I would recommend to anyone looking for chicken near Guui Station.



Medium-spicy flavor to pair with it
The medium-spicy dakgangjeong had a sweet sauce with a pleasant level of heat. It was not just intensely spicy, so it was easy to eat, and alternating it with the fried chicken cut through any richness and made the meal even tastier!



The crunch of chicken fried to order
Chicken near Guui Station that was even better because it was freshly fried

What I liked most was that they fried everything on the spot after I ordered. Both the dakgangjeong and chicken were warm and crisp, without much of that greasy feeling of food that seems to have been in the oil too long.



If value matters while you are looking for chicken near Guui Station, Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch seems like a good choice. You can choose from a range of cuts at low prices and enjoy freshly fried dakgangjeong too, so I recommend stopping by when you visit Jayang Market.
